About the Artist

Paula Hayes (born 1958 in Concord, Massachusetts) is an American visual artist and designer who works with sculpture, installation art, and landscape design. Hayes lived and worked in New York City for over two decades and now lives in Athens, New York since 2013. Hayes is known for her terrariums and other living artworks, as well as her large-scale public and private landscape commissions. A major theme in Hayes’ work is the connection of people to the natural environment, and much of her work is about the evolving relationship to growing and maintaining large and small-scale ecosystems.

Support for this exhibition and its national tour is provided by Art Bridges.

Additional major support has been provided by the Henry Luce Foundation and Terra Foundation for American Art, and Galen, Debi, and Alice Havner.
